Erris writes "Valve's President Gabe Newell is calling Microsoft's
choice to make DirectX 10 Vista-only a 'terrible mistake' that has
harmed gaming. His company's latest hardware study shows the strategy
has not moved gamers onto Vista. The result is that almost no one is
using the newest version of DirectX, and companies are shying away from
creating new input devices that support it. Nine months after release,
after Christmas, after graduation, and with school mostly back in
session, still only 8% of gamers are using it." Update: 08/27 21:09 GMT
by Z : An AC points out that these numbers may be framed poorly given
uptake numbers for XP's release.
